Gas prices rise for second straight week


California’s gasoline prices are posting increases for the second week in a row, according to price surveys Friday.

“Oil prices continue to hover near $100 a barrel and that is impacting gas prices locally,” says Jeffrey Spring, a spokesman for the Automobile Club of Southern California.

“Even though prices are now about 50 cents lower than their peak 2011 levels reached in May, this is still the second most expensive summer we’ve ever experienced for gasoline prices behind 2008.”

The statewide average price is $3.813 on July 22, the AAA says. That’s 65 cents higher than a year ago.

And here’s a rarity: California has the nation’s seventh highest average price. Five states and the District of Columbia are higher – Alaska ($4.020) and Hawaii ($4.068), as usual, but also the District of Columbia ($3.895); Illinois ($3.889); New York ($3.944); and Rhode Island ($3.850).

Following are the Central Valley average prices for Friday, July 22, driving from south to north, as reported by the American Automobile Association with last week’s (July 15) averages in parentheses and [July 8] prices in brackets:

• Bakersfield, $3.822 ($3.810) [$3.822]

• Visalia-Porterville, $3.787 ($3.782) [$3.789]

• Fresno, $3.774 ($3.738) [$3.733]

• Merced, $3.775 ($3.745) [$3.745]

• Modesto, $3.724 ($3.681) [$3.657]

• Stockton-Lodi, $3.742 ($3.705) [$3.
